The White Bone Temple, after passing through the main hall, is the back hall.
Inside the back hall, against the wall, there were eight chime bells neatly placed. They were also made of countless bones, with various skulls, ribs, hand bones and spine protruding at irregular intervals on the surface, which looked extremely evil.
What was even more bizarre was that although there was no wind in the back hall, these bone chimes kept ringing without wind, making strange sounds that sounded like crying or laughing.
Xu Yinglian was suddenly startled and realized that she had been hearing these strange noises since she entered the underground - she just subconsciously ignored them because they were so vague.
Was it the sound of a bell?
Suddenly, a dull pain came from his sea of consciousness. Xu Yinglian hurriedly circulated his true energy to cleanse his mind, only then did he realize that the sound of the bell seemed to affect people's minds.
Fortunately, his mind was extremely resistant to illusions, so he was able to maintain his sanity.
She looked at Qiu Changtian again, only to see that his expression remained unchanged, as if he had directly ignored the magical effect of the bell.
"This is the White Bone Bell." The Flying Yaksha said with a sinister smile, "This bell moves without wind, and its sound can seduce people's souls and bewilder their minds. Those with lower magical powers will feel dizzy and their limbs will become weak and unable to move after only three breaths of exposure to the bell."
Seeing that the two men's expressions did not change, Feitian Yaksha thought that they were just holding on, so he walked to the side of the chimes and continued:
"Of course, when no one is activating it, this illusion is just torture, but it is still bearable."
"But if an external enemy attacks, you only need to activate it, and the effect of the illusion will be immediately magnified a hundred times. No matter how high your cultivation level is, you will never be able to resist it."
As it spoke, it stretched out its long, jet-black nails and knocked hard on the bell cover.
After hearing a long sound, Xu Yinglian's face turned pale immediately.
The moment the bell rang, she felt as if something hit her soul and she almost lost her balance.
What a powerful illusion attack! And it was the kind that went straight to the soul, so she couldn't find any effective means to resist it. She could only use her Seven Apertures Heart's talent to resist it.
Seeing Xu Yinglian finally showing a strange expression, Feitian Yaksha was a little confused.
I rang the bell, why didn't you fall?
Looking at Qiu Changtian again, his expression immediately became strange.
Because this person seemed to be fine, just looking around at the chimes, as if he was appreciating some work of art.
Feitian Yaksha looked a little embarrassed, he had just said "it's absolutely irresistible", but the two people in front of him managed to hold on, how could he save face?
After a long silence, it could only bite the bullet and say:
"It's just that this bone chime has been abandoned here for tens of millions of years, so its spirituality has dimmed a lot and it no longer has the power to attack souls."
"Hasn't it been more than ten thousand years since the predecessor was buried here?" Qiu Changtian asked curiously.
"If you don't understand, shut up! 'Ten thousand years' is just a figure of speech." Fei Tian Yaksha suppressed the killing intent in his heart, turned his head and said irritably, "How can a monk care about such trivial details!"
It gnashed its teeth fiercely and continued forward with the two of them, and soon entered a side hall.
In the center of the side hall was a bloodstained stone platform.
The edge of the stone platform is decorated with countless skulls and bones, forming a mysterious and wonderful magic circle.
Qiu Changtian took a look and realized that it seemed to be some kind of evil magic array, which was used to drain the flesh and blood of the target in the center of the array, but it was also mixed with a soul-soothing array. Was this... to make the target die more comfortably?
"This is the blood sacrifice platform of the Ghost Sect." Feitian Yaksha explained, "Any cultivator who wants to switch to the Ghost Path must first take Yinhui Yuanshen Water and practice the Ghost Path technique for 49 days."
"The Yinhui Yuanshen Water is not water. It is made of pure Yin Qi mixed with spiritual essence. If taken with the combination of exercises, it can cause the flesh to wither and the bones to dry up."
"When the body is almost decayed, sit on this blood altar and practice the secret technique to separate the body from the soul, turning into a ghost cultivator."
"I see." Qiu Changtian said calmly, "I wonder what's so strange about this ghost cultivator?"
"One is that he is proficient in all kinds of soul magic, and his methods are strange." Fei Tian Yasha said slowly, "Second, he can freely go down to the underworld and avoid disturbances."
"The third point is also the most important one: since ghost cultivators have abandoned their physical bodies, there is no limit to their life span."
Having said that, it just kept silent.
Qiu Changtian and Xu Yinglian looked at each other and realized that the ghost cultivation method must have some huge flaws, but the Flying Yaksha deliberately did not say it.
Otherwise, why aren't there so many ghost cultivators in the Yin Gui Dao today?
You know, if there were no limit on lifespan, many people who were originally unable to form the elixir could slowly accumulate cultivation and calmly form the elixir!
"The flaw is that the heavenly tribulations are abnormally frequent." Kunlun Mirror added in the sea of consciousness, "Ghost cultivators and Yin corpses are all evil things that are not tolerated by the heavens. They took advantage of the loopholes and got rid of the lifespan restrictions. You can see it by looking at its current state."
The Flying Yaksha walked forward, and suddenly, as if accidentally, kicked the skull next to the magic circle.
Suddenly, the magic circle lit up with a blood-red light, covering everyone present.
"Oops, I accidentally touched the restriction." Flying Yaksha said with an evil smile, but there was no apology on his face. It was obvious that he did it on purpose.
Xu Yinglian's face suddenly changed, and he hurriedly tried to activate the flying sword, but he found that the true energy in his body was blocked and he could not use any magic at all.
Flying Yaksha looked at the two of them coldly, thinking that even if you are not afraid of illusions, you can't do anything about this formation, right?
Beg me! Just kneel down and beg me, and swear with your heart that you will not reveal my existence, and I will help you two to escape from the magic circle.
Otherwise, as time goes by, you will have to watch your flesh and blood gradually disappear and wither. The pain will be absolutely extraordinary...
Just as it was thinking about how to hint indirectly so that the two men would be forced to surrender, Qiu Changtian walked forward and put the skull back in its right position.
He stretched out his right hand again, put two fingers together, and drew a few strokes on the ground.
The magic circle flashed and then went out, just like a light with a switch pressed.
Flying Yaksha: ???
"How could you be so careless, senior?" Qiu Changtian said calmly, "Fortunately, I know a little bit about formations, otherwise it would be really difficult to save you this time."
“Ahem.” Feitian Yaksha came back to his senses and said awkwardly, “This formation has been abandoned for tens of millions of years. It’s normal for it to suddenly malfunction and start.”
"I see." Qiu Changtian said, "Then please be careful next time, senior, and don't accidentally touch any restrictions that have been abandoned for tens of millions of years."
"That's natural, that's natural." Flying Yaksha said repeatedly, feeling secretly resentful in his heart.
Now Qiu Changtian and the other are afraid that it will kill them, and Feitian Yaksha is also afraid that the other party will attract immortals after his death. It can be said that each of them holds the key to destroy the other.
In this situation, no matter who uses force, both will perish, so the only option is to use soft tactics to make the other party surrender.
For example, trapping the opponent in a formation and torturing him.
What if the other party knew that he dared not kill him? Under the cruel torture of the ban, most people would eventually choose to surrender.
Who knew that this freak human cultivator would not respond to illusions and could not be trapped by formations!
Is this a good idea?
